Viva La Verve! Challenge

This card is for my sweet niece, Inez...her 100th day celebration.  In Korea, we celebrate the 100th day after the baby is born.  Long ago in Korea, many babies did not live past 100 days due to poor living conditions and lack of healthcare.  So when they do reach 100 days, it's a day to celebrate.

I used week 2 sketch challenge from VerveI love this sentiment...it's perfect for the occasion.  For the tag, I used my P-touch label maker to print her name.  Love using these cherry blossoms from I Am Roses.com.  
Supplies~
pp: the sweet matstack{DCWV}
stamp: Smallest Things, Plain Jane{Verve}
die: Ornate Artisan tags and accents{Spellbinders}
misc: I Am Roses; jewelry tag{Avery}; winter white seam binding

Simply Flowers

Did I mention how much I enjoy swaps?!  Well, I love swapping with crafty, talented peeps....and here's one of the swaps on A Lil Scrap of Heaven.
We had to make three flowers, fully decorated with feathers, leaves...the works.  And I have to say that I enjoyed making these.  I just hope the girls like them too. Ü
I made three different types of flowers.  The size is perfect to use on any project.  I have a project for one of these lovelies, so keep an eye out for that post. Ü

For this flower, I used Magnolia Doohickeys Dies.  I love the details on the dies.  The pearls and crystals I took from the candle holder from Michaels.  I've used them on so many projects and still have a lot left. The flowers are inked with vintage photo distress ink.
Supplies~ 
pp: Bailey{K&Company}
punches: classic butterfly{MS}; Doohickey dies doily flowers, peony petals, poinsettia{all from Magnolia}
misc:  white half back pearls

This black and white themed flower is made from satin fabric.  I used the Loopy Bloom die and layered the pieces on top of each other.  Then for the center, I made this pearl flowers following a YouTube tutorial.
Supplies~
dies: loopy bloom, leafy flourish, fancy flourish{all MFT}
skeleton leaves{I Am Roses}
misc: black satin fabric, handmade stick pin

 And this little beauty I made using Prima flowers.  I was lucky to find matching pearls for the center. The lace fabric flower added for a touch of vintage.  Then layered with pink feathers, pearl trim, and leaf die I inked with tumble glass distress ink.

flowers: Prima
die: foliage{Spellbinders}
